Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use "courtyard" for any open space next to a house, but a courtyard is usually surrounded or mostly surrounded by walls or buildings. For a general open area at the back of a house, "yard" (American English) or "garden" (British English) is more common. Learners also confuse "courtyard" with "patio"; a patio is mainly a paved sitting area, while a courtyard is a whole enclosed space.
